The Ethical Science Division, Biometrics branch is looking into making a raider clone army. interested in the physical state of Raiders on the forum. Also, there are orders from up top for some Raiders to get some ID cards, because at this point it's driving the admins crazy not really knowing what Raiders look like. Between resurrections, power ups, evolutions and all sorts of shenanigans, it's time to know what people look like!

Along with Coryn's Quick and Easy Guide to Canon, I thought it'd be really helpful to get canonical descriptions of Raider personas for the sake of any future projects (Man I really need to get to that VN) and attempts to depict them in comics and stuff. (Fingers crossed for actually doing more of that)

Now it's useful and all to have centimeteres and weight and blood type mentioned but I'm hoping for some real practical stuff to help with the drawing process.

REFERENCES PICTURES FIRST AND FOREMOST, but otherwise it'd be nice to see the practical references.

So other than a general physical description, for the sake of artists and the like it'd be useful to know

Spoiler

1. Height in heads: 7.5 Being average, 8.5 being heroic and tall e.t.c. Like I said you're free to give exact centimetre measuremeants but this is about giving a general idea of how to draw your raider.

Spoiler

2. Body form: Weird I know, but I've found it helps a tonne to know 'How' to draw your character, like all the hundreds of tutorials on that front. Are their waists and torsos the same basic relationship? Are they Slenderman- spindly? Round? Or do they look like something Oda drew?

Spoiler

3. Muscle tone: Is your raider buff af or a lean killing machine like Bruce Lee? Or are they just soft skinned?

(Lel what is anatomy )Example

Legomaestro is a black trenchcoat wearing man with an afro. Average height (7.5 heads), basic body form (two blocks basically) and lithe - muscular but not beef-caky.

Since I sort of changed my character's appearance in the canon recently, I'll throw my biometric in here as well.

Fronomenal is a raider of slightly under-average height (6.5 heads in height) and average body form (2 blocks I guess). His muscle tone is lean (Lithe) with a tad bit extra muscle.

His afro is round and slightly curly, and it's about this height.

Spoiler

As for clothes and accessories, he wears a black silky bomber jacket, black khakis, black combat boots, a silky black scarf wrapped around his neck, and a purple katana hidden in a black sheath wrapped with black bandaging on the side of his waist.

Reference for the scarf

Also, Satoshi Batista is a top flight savage haha! Michiko and Hatchin was a damn good show.

Last time I played that game (before LARP existed, like a bazillion years ago) I was told I couldn't exist according to the rules.

6'2"240-260. Ideally I want to be 250 and 6-8% body fat but lack the motivation to spend the 2 years required at this point.Chest 52" Gut 38"arms: 19.5"Legs: twig like. Seriously, this high European/skip leg day *censored*, sucks. Ever since I popped something in my head while sledding 2,800+ (.. god I hope it wasn't 3,800? I blame the girl in the black spandex exercise top for that).Skull: shavedface: van dyke.Visible abs: 2Can I still roll a car over on my own, even with the engine is removed (EZ mode): no.. and last try it was a freaking Del Slo! :weeping:

Int: Anything I would say would sound like an internet lie. (OK so in K-3 my researcher said I was not scaleable as the tests capped at 165. Then a 147 Wechsler that was trashed by my *censored*ty right brain score, in treatment, In college I met a soulmate and we would dragrace MENSA 165s at the after bar while wasted.. until we met a girl who put our 5 min completion times to shame (*sniff* I never got her name. She was shy, no one knew her and the only thing she said were answered to the test.. we thought she was *censored*ing with us [NERDS!!!!] until we realized everyone of her answers was correct and by then she left). and for "internet IQ" a 172 on a normed test named after a D&D monster.. 172.. dad was always right, his college 178 proves I'm an idiot)Wisdom: Getting worse by the day (that last bat beating I took, took my perfect memory when it gave me aphasia).Constitution: I get winded standing up. But so far have been unkillable. Yeah cardio, I know, I bought a bike years ago and it is pretty.Charisma: I live off old war stories from my golden days. And people still love me, WTF? Vodka gives +7 to CHA... For a while, then -28.Appearance: probably average.. am I bleeding? I do own the world's most expensive coat and hat and the coat is getting an upgrade. I go to a convention a bazillion people want to get pictures taken with them or in them. Blondswan has introduced some new hats after seeing mine. I'm currently planning a no seam bowler (suck it blond swan!)What are the other D&D stats?leprosy: Weird skin condition I'm using cream on. Still have some red spots (maybe when they say "2x a day" they mean that and not once per week?).Deer fighting: I have never beat up a deer... or a moose (moose ain't going to happen. I have spent the last few years trying to find an old friend who could set up a bear fight for me. He dated a dude who wrassled bears.. no luck so far).Sex drive: Meh, mine lives in the fridge. No inject, no care.Car: I bought a "big boy car" (lexus GS350) and am not happy. I will want a little boy car (STi/Evo) for the rest of my life and regret buying in.Pontoons: No idea. What would I do with pontoons?Cooking: My Wheel house. I'm very good. Best wing sauce on the planet (tested by doubters)Number of dice owned: I think if I searched my house I could find 50.Pilot: I was but now I'm a ground dweller.

a bazillion years ago a friend decided that he would run a RPG where everyone played themselves.I showed up drunk as I got dragged there. It turns out I'm not even close to a legitimate character. So he cut half my points saying that "normal humans" are nothing like me.
